A primary school's "significant progress" has been recognised by Ofsted inspectors.

Tetney Primary School's "strong leadership", the "rich and varied" curriculum and good behaviour were all praised in a report which saw the school given an overall rating of "good".

Their latest judgement, given after a visit in November, marks a big turnaround for the school, which was marked as "requires improvement" in May 2016.

Head teacher Sarah Addison said: "We are delighted that Ofsted has recognised the significant progress the school has made since the last inspection. This is an outcome we are all exceptionally proud of.

"I have an incredible team of staff and governors working with me at Tetney and it is an absolute pleasure to lead such a driven group of professionals and volunteers who want the very best for every child in the school community.

"I am very proud of what we have achieved together in such a short space of time."

Inspectors had previously criticised the communication of school leaders, inconsistencies in approach and lack of progress when the school was under an interim headteacher.

The school was told it required improvement in all five key areas of effectiveness.

But lead inspector Hazel Henson found on a return visit that in all areas, it had made a significant improvement.

She suggested that in order to improve further, teachers needed to challenge the most able pupils consistently and use age-appropriate strategies to improve spelling.

Miss Addison said the school and its staff would not "rest on our laurels" and would strive to improve.

She said: "As well as praise for the leadership and teaching in school, it was truly wonderful to see the recognition that was given to pupils throughout the report.

"I would like to thank all of my staff, our children and our very supportive parents for their part in our journey from 'requires improvement' to 'good'.

"Nevertheless, this is far from the end of the journey for the Tetney team and we certainly won't rest on our laurels. We will continue to work hard to maintain and further improve out standards, striving to ensure that children in our care receive the very best education."
